DESCRIPTION & REQUIREMENTS

The Knock Around Camps are built upon our belief that environment dictates a child’s summer experience. Each summer we at Knock Around strive to create a low pressure, high energy, positive environment where children are encouraged to create friendships, explore creativity, and have the time of their lives. In each of our camps, children are introduced to a wide variety of activities designed to promote teamwork, self-esteem, leadership, cultural awareness, and friendship.

In order to participate in any of our Knock Around Camp Programs, all campers must meet the following minimum requirements:

  • Be 5 years of age prior to the first day of session
  • Be potty trained
  • Ability to understand and abide by camp rules and follow direction
  • Ability to participate safely and effectively in a variety of physical & instructional activities and communicate needs
  • Ability to pay attention without being disruptive
  • Ability to understand consequences of inappropriate behavior
  • Ability to dress themselves with minimal assistance
  • Ability to interact with peer group in a civil manner
  • Understand how to respect others and their personal belongings

COUNSELORS

Our counselors are positive, energetic, highly motivated college students or recent alumni. We believe it is our counselors that separate Knock Around from many other day camps in San Diego. As college students, the counselors can play an active role in each child’s life as a positive role model. They create an energetic and open atmosphere that helps campers feel comfortable to be themselves. All counselors are: certified in CPR and first aid, familiar with the UCSD campus, experienced in working with children, positive role models.
